- Title
SOME TYPOLOGICAL REMARKS ON THE ENGLISH AND ROMANIAN OFFENSIVE AND DEROGATORY TERMS VS. THE EUPHEMISTIC VOCABULARY.
- Authors
Manea, Constantin
- Abstract
The author has culled the most illustrative examples from some common monolingual dictionaries in order to substantiate the claim that English is very rich in terms relevant of demotion and promotion. A case in point is the so-called PC vocabulary, which is increasingly more similar in today's Romanian journalese. In the context, the author has tried to demonstrate that the relationship evident in the choice of the PC Anglicisms coming into contemporary Romanian can be exploited for the promotion of sociolinguistic studies.
